Planning documents

Implementation of GEOTRACES is guided by a single international Science Plan, which calls for essential enabling activities to be completed in advance of the global field program. Intercalibration together with the establishment of a data management strategy, including a Data Policy and a Data Center, constitute the principal enabling activities. Preparation for the global program has been supported by a series of workshops, some focusing on research priorities for Ocean Basins or specific geographic regions, and some bringing together modeling with observations well in advance of the program. Reports derived from these activities can be downloaded through the links provided below.
